Hello, my name is Shelby Ruman. I am a staff counselor at Gryzbek Therapy Services. In counseling I pride myself on creating a safe space for my clients to express their concerns. I utilize a multitude of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, Narrative therapy, DBT, and mindfulness techniques. Creating an empathetic environment that encourages growth is important to me. I offer individual therapy and couples therapy via in person and telehealth.
Aside from being a counselor I am an avid nature enthusiast and gardener. I’ve been gardening for as long as I can remember, and it is a huge passion of mine. I grow a ton of vegetable varieties and love to be out in my yard. In the off season, I plan out my garden and start all of my vegetables from seeds which I love. My favorite thing to grow is tomatoes, and the most unique thing I’ve grown is a luffa sponge.
In my free time, besides gardening, you will find me traveling. I enjoy visiting new places, experiencing new cultures, and trying all the food. I love to cook and try to recreate meals I’ve had from all over the world. Outside of traveling and food I am also a guinea pig mom to 3 really cool pigs, one who is bald. My pigs make great tv watching companions and love a good snack. I love spending time with family and really enjoy the company of the ones close to me, especially if there is food involved.
